Fun little 'flashback'
This little guy packs a lot of punch. But honestly, I got it because of how it reminds me of the flashes I used back in the day. Works exactly as expected and at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend if you want that bit of nostalgia.
Great retro flash
Just couldn't resist the chance to have a flash which took me back to my childhood. Very straightforward to use. I'm very pleased with the purchase.
An embodiment of vintage charm and modern functionality, the Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash, in a refreshing mint green color, is a compact and efficient on-camera flash. This device is a unique fusion of the original Automatic Speedlight, first introduced in 1972, and the classic reflector flash design from the 1930s.
The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash features a single-pin hot shoe trigger, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras, both modern and vintage, equipped with a hot shoe or a sync post for triggering. This includes popular brands such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, and Pentax, as well as classic models from Exacta, Contax, Leica, Konica, Linhof, and more.
The automation of this on-camera flash is f-stop related, with a sensor located on the flash body, independent of TTL camera linkage. Once the lens is set to the suggested f-stop, the flash ensures accurate and rich exposure.
One of the standout features of the FlashBack Senior Speedflash is its cost-effectiveness when compared to its performance. The guide number is designed for convenience, not just high-power performance. The device also boasts a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion cell power solution, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted flash photography.
The retro fan shape of the flash, opening and closing in a circular 9-blade silver dish, harks back to the days when reflectors were the norm. This design ensures that every shot counts, just like in the days of roll film photography.
The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash does not include built-in wireless radio R2 technology. Instead, it requires a user's understanding of guide numbers and distance appreciation. The flash can be operated in manual or automatic mode, with 7 user-controlled output levels in manual mode.
The device offers even coverage at a fixed 28mm focal length flash spread, with a Guide Number of 46ft / 14m @ISO 100. It also features an advanced integrated optical receiver for both S1 and S2 pre-flash TTL systems triggers. This makes it ideal for events and situations where on-camera flash illumination is advantageous.
The Flashpoint FlashBack Senior Speedflash is a perfect choice for beginners, occasional users, amateurs, and professionals looking for a reliable backup on-camera flash. Its compact size, high light output, and integrated auto functions make it a popular choice among photographers. Please note that the Shoe adapter WE4711 is required for Sony cameras.
